Given the following system of differential equations: x' = x - x^2 - xy y' = 3y - xy - 2y^2 a. Determine all the critical points. b. Select any two critical points and classify them as saddle, spiral, node or center and whether they are stable or unstable.

Problem 3 (20 points). Determine the general solution for the system dx/dt = -y dy/dt = 2x - 3y Problem 4 (15 points). Determine the critical points for the system dx/dt = y(3x - y) dy/dt = x(x^2 - 4y) Problem 5 (15 points). Draw a few typical trajectories and determine the nature of the critical point (stable/unstable, node/spiral/saddle/center) for the system dx/dt = -y dy/dt = 2x - 3y You can use the mathlet at https://mathlets.org/mathlets/linear-phase-portraits-matrix-entry/
In Problems 21-26, classify (if possible) each critical point of the given second-order differential equation as a stable node, a stable spiral point, an unstable spiral point, an unstable node, or a saddle point. $$ x^{n}+x-\epsilon x|x|=0 \text { for } \epsilon>0\left[\text { Hint }: \frac{d}{d x} x|x|=2|x| .\right] $$
